  • What principle is discussed in relation to equilibrium in the video?
    Le Chatelier's principle
  • What does Le Chatelier's principle state?
    If a system at equilibrium experiences a change, it responds to counteract that change
  • What is the reaction mentioned in the video involving NO2 and N2O4?
    NO2 is forming N2O4 in a reversible reaction
  • What type of reaction is the forward reaction in the NO2 to N2O4 process?
    The forward reaction is exothermic
  • What happens to the temperature of the system during the forward exothermic reaction?
    The temperature of the system increases
  • What is true about the reverse reaction in a reversible reaction where the forward reaction is exothermic?
    The reverse reaction is endothermic
  • What happens to the temperature of the system during the reverse endothermic reaction?
    The temperature of the system decreases
  • What happens to the equilibrium if the temperature of the system is increased?
    The equilibrium shifts to the left
  • Why does the equilibrium shift to the left when the temperature is increased?
    To reduce the temperature since the reverse reaction is endothermic
  • What happens to the amount of NO2 and N2O4 when the temperature is increased?
    The amount of NO2 increases and the amount of N2O4 decreases
  • What happens to the equilibrium if the temperature of the system is decreased?
    The equilibrium shifts to the right
  • Why does the equilibrium shift to the right when the temperature is decreased?
    To increase the temperature since the forward reaction is exothermic
  • What happens to the amount of N2O4 and NO2 when the temperature is decreased?
    The amount of N2O4 increases and the amount of NO2 decreases
  • What are the effects of changing temperature on a reversible reaction at equilibrium?
    • Increasing temperature shifts equilibrium to the left
    • Decreasing temperature shifts equilibrium to the right
    • Forward reaction is exothermic, reverse reaction is endothermic
